Introduction to INSETA funding
Skills development grants can be claimed back from INSETA if your company pays a skills development levy
Of the skills levy paid by the employers to SARS, the following payments are made:
  1. The National Skills Fund (NSF) is allocated 18% of the levies, which is used for specifically identified training projects
  2. The South African Revenue Services retains 2% as handling fee
  3. SETAs receive 80% of the levy paid to SARS from which the mandatory and discretionary grants are paid. This amount is divided into 3 for payment of the following
    • 50% Mandatory Grants
    • 20% for Discretionary Grants, e.g. Learnerships, Bursaries and Vouchers, specially designed projects for the sector
    • 10% for the SETA’s administrative cost
